#jon watches movies

[bigassbowlingballhead]

last night was Matt's turn and I watched the Martian.

going into this movie, i didn't know much about it. I just thought of it as castaway in space. which, it sort of is is guess. but i wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as i did?

the film is so. hopeful. Even in the face of certain death, there's hope. might run out of food? he finds a way to grow potatoes using his own shit and the barren soil. soil needs water? well guess what, he created a self watering environment. His food source/habitat blow up? guess what. he finds a way.

i was not expecting going into a movie that's castaway in space and crying about the whole world coming together? cheering for this man's safe return?

i was truly blown away by this movie. incredible film. me finding hope now? it doesn't seem impossible.

5/5 stars. will watch again.

Supersons +1 prompt answer

If you asked Danny, 12 year old half-ghost hero of Amity Park, how half-life was going, he'd tell you things were mixed.

On the one hand, he had just spent the last three or four months in family/scientist/'this house is a death trap waiting to happen' therapy with Jazz, and by some miracle, it worked. He wasn't sure if this was some kind of dream as his parents poured over years upon years of research, crossing out lines, rewriting equations, and reevaulating everything they thought they knew about ghosts.

Was the shudders family therapy worth not going over how they'd like to dissect him? he's still not sure. The horror.

Not to mention the attention. Danny was sure he was going to throw up if his parents drag him away for more bonding time, only for a ghost to attack and for him to run off to transform. What made it worse was when the Fentons came barrelling out, guns blazing, alternating between getting mad that he'd interrupted their family time, and asking him questions about "Your suspicious spook culture, if you even have one you dangerous delusional delinquent!"

At least they were trying, but Danny was very much comfortable not spilling the beans on the whole half-ghost situation, thank you very much.

And that's why, when Dad proposed to take him to Gotham to show off their latest invention, he jumped at the chance. The home city of the Batman, one of the greatest heroes known to man (except for Martian Manhunter and Superman of course) and Dad promised to take him to Gotham Observatory too. Not to mention how much he wanted to get away from Jazz's smug looks of superiority. Gotham here he comes!

Damian Wayne scowled as he scanned the crowed of scientists with more smarts than sense. Really, a flying toilet seat. For what deviant?

"Maybe they're for people who can fly." Kent piped up beside him. Father had let the two of them run off together, and his company was mildly more appealing than being alone with his thoughts.

"Why would Superman ever need to relieve himself mid-air. I do not believe you would appreciate your father's rear end being on display for all the world to see."

"True." Jon hummed. His voice lowered to a whisper. "You think indecent exposure is what your dad meant by "scoping out any potential future villains?"

Damian gave Jon a flat look. The sooner this convention ended, the better.

The crowded shifted, and the mass of visitors pushed toward a certain corner, where a man large enough to rival Superman's build stood upon a podium, with a boy their age off to the side.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce to you the latest in FentonWorks' innovations, the Fenton Ghost Zone Radar, soon to revolutionise the study of ghosts!"

"I thought ghosts were a magic thing." Jon said. "You know, stuff Constantine and JLD deal with."

"They are."

"Mixing magic and science is like, like, oil and water. No way this guy's serious, is he?"

"His name is Jack Fenton. That's Daniel Fenton, his son." Damian pointed to the boy in question, looking like he'd seen this scene a hundred times before, but with that knowing glint that promised something deeper. "They're normally spotted alongside Jack's wife, Madeline. Widely regarded as quacks by the larger scientific community for chasing paper-thin theories about ghosts, they've nonetheless gained funding from the government. This is the first time they've left their base of operations in Amity Park for years."

"Woah, you know your stuff, Dami!"

Damian glared at the young Superboy in disguise. "I read the briefing files. Didn't you?"

Kent looked uncomfortable and looked away. "Uhh, maybe?"

"Typical."

"Well, if he's so crazy, then why'd your dad even let him in." Upon another scathing glare, Kent relented. "Oh right, the whole supervillain thing."

"Enough chatter. We'll zero in on the younger Fenton. I intend to squeeze him like a grape, and make Father proud."

"Dami maybe you should be a little nicer-" Only for Damian to march off without him.

Honestly, inane niceties were above someone of his status. Those things were Superboy's job, and if Daniel Fenton wouldn't crack, then Damian was itching to try a new torture technique.

Made the mistake of watching a man’s review of wicked and why it was wrong to him. He said Ari and Cynthia just weren’t believable as best friends….

My dude they’re facing marriage accusations. Where have you been

the princess bride is one of those movies that i've gone my whole life hearing referenced so by default understand the references but i never actually saw it.

i knew the inconceivable, my name is indigo montoya you killed my father prepare to die, as you wish. i knew them, i understood them, i didn't think i actually had to see the movie.

that was the case, until last night when i actually watched it. and oh my god did i love it.

what a ridiculous film in the best possible way. i lost it when the bow ornament started shaking like rubber when they stopped the boat before climbing the cliffs. then once they climbed the cliffs and indigo and the masked man began sword fighting actually seeing the mats where they landed. the whole thing felt like watching a play.

the writing is over the top, the characters larger than life and fun. i can see where the cultural impact came from. in fact, i wouldn't be surprised at all to find out if some of verania was inspired by this movie.

the film isn't without it's flaws, it's a late 80s movie after all. but a fun time nonetheless.

4/5 stars will absolutely watch again.

You had to have the last word, last night / You know what everything's about / You had to have a white hot spotlight / You had to be a big shot, last night!

✋️ WICKED MOVIE SPOILER!!! ✋️

.

I CANT FUCKING DO THIS

THE CHEMISTRY IS OFF THE CHARTS

IM GONNA BE CRYING FOR THE WHOLE DURATION OF THE MOVIE

[bigassbowlingballhead]

i made it through the two towers last night. and i keep wanting to call it the twin towers (which for a movie that came out a year after 9/11 is not good for me)

i loved seeing more of gollum and his internal struggle with who he is and who the ring has made him. he's not a bad guy, he's just a little misunderstood. i get him.

also a general tell when something is described as "un" something. that things gonna happen to that something. (see the unsinkable ship, the un-penetrable castle)

the ents are so fuckin cool man. riding one (giggidy) would be so fun. and hell yeah merry and pippin convincing them its in their best interest to help out.

Aragorn is still the most special boy of all. with his dramatic entrances dirty face and sopping wet bisexuality. (i see him and legolas. i see them)

it's genuinely surprising to me how much i enjoy these now that i've actually given them a chance. i still don't know if i'll venture into extended territory but i'm having a good time.
